The Mezzanine de L’Alcazar is a restaurant known as the glamorous social hub of Paris, a place where the top tier of the cities young, upwardly mobile, scene setters meet, eat and dance. Stylish and sexy, it has built up quite a reputation in Europe not just for its amazing food and setting but for its impeccable music.
Lots of restaurants take pride in the music that they play, some would even have highly paid, trendy, scene attending, music consultants to carefully select the tracks that their beloved customers were treated to. It’s an important part of the dining experience and ambience to get the music just right, so can a CD from a posh eatery create this vibe and be a palatable experience too?
Dining at the Restaurant
The Mezzanine De L’Alcazar compilation puts that straight. It is an eclectic and sophisticated blend of electronica, soul, and contemporary disco that you would be proud to have on your iPod or as a backdrop to any dinner party.
As ever, the latest album is the series - Volume 10 - is split into two specially designed mixes entitled ‘dinner’ and ‘dance’. The first mix ‘dinner’ is sublime and relaxed, down tempo and atmospheric. The second mix is for après when you want the party to get a little looser.
'Dinner' presents the very finest in uber-cool, downtempo vibes, with cuts from the likes of Mr Scruff, DJ Food, The Cinematic Orchestra, Bonobo and Maayan Nidam. ‘Dance’ meanwhile ups the pace for a night on the dancefloor with The Normalites, Jon Culter, and King Britt.
Mezzanine De L'Alcazar Volume 10 is out 6th September.
